I agree with the OP to a certain extent.
Beta's are for bug finding and feedback on the game, not grinding to get a head start on everyone else.
Yes there will always be someone bigger and better than you in SP BUT in this case the line between Beta and full release has been blurred.
If someone in 3 months joins after the release date then they can logically think that they are behind because they came in 3 months after the official launch date, whereas in this case the majority of people would assume that beta progression would not carry across as it has never happened in any other game, ever.
Personally I don't normally play beta's as they are buggy and only a handful of gamers will actually provide feedback as a beta is intended for.
Now, in this instance they never stated at the start that they would NOT be resetting at launch, if I, and other players had of known this 3 months ago I'm sure we also would of jumped in to grind with the rest of the people..
TL;DR - A beta is a beta, they didn't say at the start beta progression would roll over so people waiting for launch day have a disadvantage.
In other words - they had a 3 month head start to the party, not turning up 3 months after it started |

At the end of the day, it was a gamble.
If they reset on launch day then you would have the 5 month grinders crying.
They don't reset on launch day then the new player base is crying.
It was a gamble, the beta grinders took the risk and it payed off as its the first time beta progression has rolled over into a official release date.
Also there is a big difference between turning up 5 months early and 5 months later.
People that come in 5 months after release date know that game is "released" and been running since said release date.
Waiting for release date only to find out people have a 5 month head start.
Two very different situations..! |

And would of you done the same thing if you knew they would to a reset at launch?
Have you ever been in a beta that rolls it progression over into the launch date?
I'm guessing you have never been in a beta before as it is common knowledge beta progression doesn't normally roll over into the release.
You grinders that spent a load of money just got damn lucky, plain and simple.. |
